Mediator final 1
Today’s Reading: Psalm 14:1-4 Version NIV
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm+14%3A1-4&version=NIV

Many people have chosen to live as if God did not exist. In an attempt to hide or justify human evil, many say, “If God existed; he would not allow the horrible things that happen out there.”

This concept is very old. David already mentioned it in one of his Psalms: “The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, their deeds are vile; there is no one who does good.”

At the bottom of our hearts, we know of the existence of the eternal God and that is what we desire. From here begins our dilemma: How to get to God, how to escape death? Human beings are ingenious. From this ingenuity arise religions, priests, temples, altars, offerings, and even a kind of fetish. These religious structures create a big gap and generate superstition, deceit and oppression. All of these can and should be eliminated.

God is one and the mediation between God and man is not through things, or special humans. Confused we continue with so many cults, sects and religions. Nevertheless, we can thank God, because his desire is to save all his people through Jesus. Yes, Jesus is the only mediator between God and men.

Good News To All

Jesus Order

Look around you. What do you see? A worn out world; a sad and ugly reality; where selfishness, violence and immorality are close to an embarrassing level. Therefore, as Christians, we are called to bring light to the darkness, joy where there is sadness, peace where discord prevail, life where there is death.

Jesus left, for all Christians, a very clear order to this effect: ” Then he told them: Go and preach the good news to everyone in the world.” (Mark 16:15 CEV)

We interpret that order as the most tender expression of God’s love for us, God’s love for all who are tired, sad, hurt, and desperate.

To bring Christ to others, we must repudiate, with all our heart, all sins, the attachment to material goods and selfishness; giving to Jesus the absolute control of our thoughts, intentions and actions.

We must pray and ask today, “Lord Jesus, give me the ability to spread your love to this lost and confused world, May I become a light where the darkness of sin and evil are present. Let me be love where hatred and discord prevail, in your name”. Amen.
